A species of horned beetle has a (starting) population size of 4000 individuals. Every month, 170 individuals are born. However,

you cannot assess the number of individuals that die every month because after death the animals are susceptible to a fungus that quickly degrades their carcasses. You can measure, though, that the population is declining over time, with the population size decreasing by 70 individuals every month (i.e. dN/dt). Calculate a) the total number of deaths per month (1pt) and the per capita death rate (

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Starting population = 4000

Addition per month = 170

decline on population per month = 70

Increase rate in population per month (dt) :

Starting population = 4000

Number of births per month = 170

However, the population declines by 70 individuals each month

Hence,

Number of births - number of deaths(d) = 70

170 - d = - 70 ( decline?

170 + 70 = d

240 = d

d = number of deaths

Per capita death :

Total number of deaths per. Month / starting population

= 240 / 4000

= 0.06

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

10+20+40=70

70*0.8=7*10*0.8=56 L (We Deliver)

total area =2*(10+20)*40+2*10*20=2*30*40+400=2400+400=2800 cm^2

2800*0.02=28*100*0.02=28*2=56 L (Go Parcels)

The probability that the first stage of a numerically controlled machining operation for high-rpm pistons meets specifications i
lora16 [44]

Answer:

There is an 85.5% probability that both stages meet specifications.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

A 90% probability that the first stage meets specifications.

If the first stage meets specifications, a 95% probability that the second stage also meets specifications.

What is the probability that both stages meet specifications?

This is the multiplication of these probabilities. So:

P = 0.9*0.95 = 0.855

There is an 85.5% probability that both stages meet specifications.

Ben is eating some pretzels and an entire small package of mustard as a snack. Based on
olasank [31]

Please consider the attached graph.

We have been given that Ben is eating some pretzels and an entire small package of mustard as a snack. We are asked to find the equation that represents the relationship between the number of pretzels  that Ben eats, x, and the total amount of sodium in his snack, y.

First of all, we will find the slope of the line using points (1,80) and (5,140).

m=\frac{140-80}{5-1}

m=\frac{60}{4}

m=15

Now we will use point-slope form of equation y-y_1=m(x-x_1), where m represents slope of line and point (x_1,y_1) is on the line.

We will substitute m=15 and coordinates of point (1,80) in above equation.

y-80=15(x-1)

y-80=15x-15

y-80+80=15x-15+80  

y=15x+65

Therefore, the equation y=15x+65 represents the relationship between the number of pretzels  that Ben eats and the total amount of sodium in his snack.

zimovet [89]

Answer:

Yes it does

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use two sample t-test to draw the conclusuion. However, by looking at the information of mileage of tyres on asphalt and concrete-paved highways, we can say that since mean milege of tyres on concrete is lesser, tyres wear faster on concrete-paved highways.
